Model trains, cars, trucks, military vehicles and construction vehicles are fun for kids of all ages to play with. Bring out a model train and turn it on and watch the eyes of all the kids in the room light up (maybe especially the older ones!). Not only are they fun to play with, but model vehicles are great fun to build too! The 5 PDF documents on this CD contains tons of information for building models using different techniques and materials. They're very well illustrated and clearly written in an easy to access format so they'll be super easy to use in the shop. Check Out The Contents Of This CD Below!
MODELERS ART OF PATTERN MAKING ILLUSTRATED GUIDE Â The art of pattern making as it relates to model building is of the utmost importance. For every item the model engineer desires to build, there may not be a pattern available. That as most certainly the case more often than not in the early part of the 1900's. Therefore, the model artists of that time needed to learn the skill themselves. This is a superbly written and illustrated guide for the model-maker and describes the processes of pattern making from that era. While some of the work does require machining, even a novice should be able to accomplish this with practice. Whether you are a proficient model maker or a beginner, you will want to add this document to your digital library! Check Out Some Screen Grabs From This Document...
